Opis

This book reflects on the ‘literary’ in literature. Whether oral expression, Nobel laureates, or the rupturing event, the study adopts a style of intimacy to both its African locality and the wider Anglophone world: the world to which literature in South Africa continues to belong, albeit as a ‘problem child’.
